Crack-Up, Buenos Aires

When your usual cafe and bar routine starts to get a little old, vary the repetition with an evening at Crack-Up, a tiny yet ambitious bookstore/cafe in hip Palermo Soho. Most books are in Spanish, but the collection of quirky art books and independent travel guides (many bilingual) is impressive, and the ever-present owners are quick to suggest a great read or tasty wine. Check out the events schedule to find out about the variety of happenings, such as live jazz or special fixed-menu dinners.
